I’ve been playing with my FEEL FLUX for weeks and its hit rate in the amazement department is 100%.Each time you drop the metal ball through the copper tube you’d expect it to zip out the other end but instead, it lazily creeps from one end to the other and dribbles out into your waiting […]

Unlike traditional lighters, the SaberLight features an electronic plasma beam that’s both rechargeable and butane-free. This sleek lighter is even approved by TSA, so you’ll never be stuck buying lighters you’ll just have to throw away partially used. For some people, like me, this is a pretty big game-changer.

WB, hows the tan…
my favorite useless super power…hrmm…colossal hair growth? Prime number guy? Heisenberg Boy (has the ability to observe every situation but cannot influence any of them).
Kitty Shapres, the kitten morpher, tho the power of cute may actually come in handy sometime. The Amazing Cartilage? Captain Tree? Hrmm. Reversal X, can change the poles on a magnet. And of course, Mister Bomb, who can create a fusion explosion at will, unfortunately right next to himself.

My first gut instinct was to say “Come on Boing Boing, this is old”, but then I remembered how awesome the site was and I hadn’t been to it in a while so I got excited to catch up on what I’ve missed since I last went to the site. Then I was even more disappointed to find that the site hasn’t been updated a single time since the last time I went there, which was several months ago.

It’s just a single panel from an entire page mocking superheroes and their powers, but the link features a second panel from that page: “Captain Greedle and Boo-Gaa”, and while they don’t mention any powers, they still seem pretty worthless.

Always a tough call. For example Captain 2×4’s plank-based powers are obviously versatile and deadly in a fight but what about the power to turn into a Scotch Terrier? There was an Interpol agent with that power in “Flaming Carrot” comics who turned out to have vital contributions to make: an ace on stake-outs and following people; an excellent second-story man as you could throw him through windows; and, of course, cuteness is always a might power.

I loved Temps< \i> (and its sequel Eurotemps< \i>) but my useless superpower seems to be the uncanny ability to diminish sales; neither this series nor its sister series were continued after the initial couple of volumes.
